The OLED seems to be more of a power consumption upgrade. The resolution is the same. Sure you will get more color depth with the OLED but it probably isn't worth the upgrade if you already have a deck. If they offer the new screen as an after market upgrade that may be worth it. But I'm the meantime the deck HD has a higher resolution.

Not sure if it's right, but it seems to me this is really just a bunch of preconfigured fedora instances for specific use cases with containerized packages you can mix and match to your needs. Then they slap on a bunch of buzz words to make it sound novel.

That was always Gabe's intention with SteamOS when it came out around a decade ago. He has never really liked windows, and definitely never liked the potential for Microsoft to mess with his product. SteamOS was made from the ground up to supplant windows as the primary gamer OS, we are just now witnessing the turning of the tide.

Does that keyboard fit in the case while closed? I don't need a keyboard with the deck often, but it would be nice to have one with it all the time for that off chance I do. The times I need a keyboard I really need a keyboard.

Buying the disk is still owning it (which is another $5 less on amazon BTW) though it is not out yet.

Correction, $5 more for a lifetime (or until the company decides to remove it) rental.

Short sellers, and the corporation that absorbs them at bargain prices.

New MacBooks have their memory soldered directly to the main board and don't have an extra m.2 port. There are very few windows laptops that meet both of those criteria. But like I said, even in those cases you can install games on an external drive.

No it's not, unless they have a MacBook. And even in that case it's not hard to find an external SSD with a thunderbolt or USB3.2 interface.

It's not that unrealistic if the dock has a GPU in it. Something they should have done with the og switch.

The media creator runs perfectly in wine. But isos are easy to find as well.

I use batch renaming all the time, very little of it for programming. Media management, and general file organization are my most common uses. But there are plenty of third party free programs that let windows do this without the need for running python scripts.
